Oh, great
MARS, Mars (DPI) -- Kennedy Space Center analysts were shocked today when the Mars Rover suddenly ceased transmitting video from the Martian surface. It appears that a single Martian fighter disabled the Rover using the old "wrap string around the legs and pull" trick made famous in Star Wars and Lord Of The Rings movies.
"I have no excuse," says Spencer Nurdley, chief Rover designer. "Oh, I know, 'Return Of The King'" came out years after my design was finalized. But I should have recognized this vulnerability from my many viewings of 'The Empire Strikes Back.' Oh, fighters of Hoth, I have failed to learn your bitter lesson!"
Experts say the incident will probably not hurt Mr. Nurdley's dating chances.
